Avenged Sevenfold band’s name is a reference to the Book of Genesis in the Bible – specifically Genesis 4:24, where Cain is sentenced to life in exile for murdering his brother.

Avenged Sevenfold band sports a logo known as the “Deathbat”. The Deathbat has appeared on all of the band’s album covers, many of which were done by Cameron Rackam, a close friend of the band. The Deathbat has developed from just being a skull with bat wings, to sometimes appear as a full “man size” skeleton with bat wings, as it can be seen at the cover of City of Evil.
